    <p>Upon opening Transmission for the first time, a macOS dialog box should appear asking if you will allow Transmission to receive incoming connections. Click Accept.</p>
    <p>If this doesn't happen, you can add Transmission to the firewall manually:</p>
    <div class="taskbox">
        <ol>
            <li>Open System Prefs → Security → Firewall. Make sure "Set access for specific services and applications" is selected.</li>
            <li>Click the "+" button and select Transmission from your Applications folder.</li>
            <li>Make sure the pull down menu is set to "Allow incoming connections".
        </ol>
